The Children in the Mountains.
THE PRESBYT ERIAN SUNDAY SCHOOLS AT
THE AUGUSTA WHITE.

THE PRESBYT ERIAN SUNDAY SCHOOLS AT
THE AUGUSTA WHITE.
At an early hour Thursday last, Staun-
ton was all agog. Before O'Clock the
pavements were echoing to the tread of
hundreds of little feet, whilst the heavier
tramp of the children of larger growth
might have suggested to stranger and a
sojourner wholesale emigration. Each
group carried it's rations. and an occasional
express wagon loaGed with baskets, added
to the general effect of the exodus. A
half dozen or more coaches on the G. & O.
line were crowded to their utmost, and as
the train moved out mountainward, there
was not q foot of extra standing room
even on the platforms. The Augusta
White Sulphur Springs, which haye re-
Gently been SO handsomely fitted up, was
the objective point, and it proved a delight
full place for pienicing.
The day was spent, as all such days are,
in one continuous round of pleasure, in
which the cultivation Of the baskets
played conspicuous part. Especially
was this feature of the entertainment ap-
preciated by the little ones, who yied with
each other in making the most of the
license granted on such occasions.
Besides the games and other innocent
sources of amusement, there was boating
and fishing. One party of marines Off
cered by dignitaries of the Sunday School,
disturbed the lazy monatopy by upsettipg
their boat and testing the penetrating
qualities of the mountain water. No
harm was done, however, beyond a gen.
eral ducking.
1t was half past eight when the train
reached Staunton. and pretty tired set of
children they were. But each declared
that they would be ready again for the
next picnic, and hoped it would be at the
coz =

DIR. CRANFILL ON HIGH LICENSE

DIR. CRANFILL ON HIGH LICENSE.
1t is quite evident, from his recent
speech at Austin, that DR.. Cranfill OPP
poses high license liquor law, because
he apprehends that with such a system
in force the chances for adoption of the
prohibition amendment will be materially
lessened. Heretofore his argument has
been that high license will not in any de
gree mitigate or regulate the evils of the
liquor traffic; that with decreased per
centage of licensed drinking places there
will be as much liquor drank as ever, etc.
Now, however, he intimates that if high
license shall be adopted, the effect of such
action would be TO induce men VINO would
otherwise vote for prohibition to either
vote against it or stay away from the
polls, and thus virtually throw their votes
against the prohibition proposition.
And he intimates, too, that if there
is to be vote on prohibition the Leg
islature ought not 10 virtually handicap
the measure by passing another measure
which many men heretofore Prohibition
lists will be disposed to accept in lieu of
prohibition. We do not know that DR..
CranfilI has said as much as this in so
many words, but substantially such is the
tendency of his recent appeal to the Leg
islature. 1t is plausible and ingenious
argument, but in making it DR.. Cranfill
unwlttiDgly pays the highest compliment
he could bestow upon the high license
system. He virtually admits that whether
high license is desirable or not a great
many respectable, orderly people have a
high opinion of its merits aud are willing
to give it g trial before resorting to pro-
hibition. In brief, he does not propose,
if any word of his can ward
off such contingency, that pro-
hibition, as moral-economiC measure,
shall come in competition with high Il
cense, the latter also claiming to be a
measure designed to deal with the liquor
traffic, the chief difference being that pro-
hiDitiOn proposes suppression and high
license regulation. DR.. Crantlll is aware
that as a rule conservative men will side
with the regulation idea. THE GAZETTE
faYors submission of the prohibition ques-
ton and the passage of high license law
as well. Has DR.. Cranfill right to ex-
pect that society, simply to give hiS
20, nd froy Ia1 che
with the people, shall put aside another
measure that promises full as much bene-
fit in moral way as his? THE GAZETTE
thinks not. 1t is little short of prepos-
ferrous to assume that high license must
be delayed (as it will be if not adopted
now for three years longer in order to
ascertain this year whether the people of
Texas do or do not want prohibition.

they might invest few hundred dollars
in some enterprise that would be
perfectly safe and yield them handsome
dividend, but they are prevented from
doing SO because they cannot use their
little property to secure loau sufficient
to enable them to start in business 1t
may be claimed that the present lsw en-
ables the wife and children to keep their
little home out of the merciless srasp OF
the soulless creditor, and this may be
true in some cases, but where there isfone
such case as that, there are no doubt five
other just as good families who are re-
tarded in the great race for wealth, by this
very same law.
No honest man or woman would take
advantage, to the fullest extent, of the
present law, because it allows more than
is necessary for comfortable home, and
that is all that any honest person would
want and rascals should not be allowed
more. But the present law, bad as it is,
would not be SO Objectionable if that part
was repealed which relates to persons
using their homestead as means of OBJ
tanning money. Repeal that part and the
law will be shorn of one of its worst
faults, and the poor msn will then not be
compelled to sell his homestead at u sac
rifce in order to get small amount Of
ready cash to tide him over the hard
times. CITIZEN.

receiving from the railroad companies
salaries ranging anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 per annum. They are doing
too well with the railroads to be tempted
by $500 place on the interstate

the railroads employ the very best
class of talent, because they find
it to their interest to do so, and
the state that would be well served must
do likewise, or it will not get the talent.

To the Editor of the Gazette:
After thoroughly canVassing the sub
ject and taking with several good bust
ness men and also men of small means,
VINO are intended to be benefited by such
a law, am confident that at least four
ntths of the people indorse the position
taken by THE GAZETTE, VIZ, tnat the
law ought to be repealed ard a more
business like and just law enacted in its
stead. That the present law is more of
detriment than benefit to the poor man
can be proven Beyond question, because
it improves his credit and very often
gives some unprincipled scoundrel an op-
portunity to swindle him out of his hard
earnings.
Besides, the present law allows a man
to withhold from mis- creditors more than
most people have and at the same time
prevents him from using his homestead
as q stepping stone to wealth and pros
perity. Very many men no doubt see
openings in new country like this where

venelity to others may, themselves, be
set down as harpies whose only concep-
ton of journalism is its prostitu ton
Fort Worth Gazette.
Yes; newspapers, unfortunately, some
times have brainless asses st their heads,
who are so vile and worthless themselves,
that they believe everyone else TO be as
mean as themselves. Whenever you see
a paper that is always comdemning the
actions and questioning the motives of
others, you may set it down as certainty
that its editor is low, mean, contempti-
bic puppy, who would not only rob every
one else of his good Eame, and pull him
down into the slime of filth in which he
loves to wallow, but would, if ne had not
too cowardly heart, assassinate his best
friend.

pose of buying seed for the people in the

one-fourth of what is necessary to pur-
chase a carload each of seed oats and

to be equally prompt, that these seed may
be bought at once and shipped to the
people who have so little time in which
to put the seed in the ground for crops?

IN ANSWER to questions of the Attor-
ney- General on cross-examination, Judge
Willis said he knew that six of the grand
Jury had indicted themselves; that the
district attorney was in the pay of the
association to which these six iurymen
belonged that the sheriff also was in their
employ; that the cases were tried with
out witnesses and without warning to the
defendants; that the state lost from S75,-
900 to $4,000 by these verdicts; and
that he did not raise any objections to
any of the proceedings. And this is ad-
minlstration of law and justice in Judge
Willis court.
